The testimony given on Saturday in
the Lynch vandever contest by R.
A. Ling, ESQ.,, and by Hon. s. M.
White, which was published in the
HEnALD yesterday, is among the most
important and convincing of any in
this cause celebre. An unwilling wit
ness all through, Mr.. Ling could not,
under oath, escape from the exigency
of the occasion, but had to tout
with''ithe fact that the rdnmmies'
were Systematically put in line.to re-
tard voting in the famous "White
House precinct The object was to

oun Pasadena exchanges complain

OuR Pasadena exchanges complain
that full justice has not been done In
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD to the ad-
vances which have been made in
that go-ahead and progressive city.
This is purely the result of an acci-
dent which we did not discover until
the first edition of the periodical had
been worked off. We had prepared
an article bringing down the marvel
GUS history of Pasadena to date; but,
by some unaccountable mischance,
it was overlooked by the fore man in
the makeup. We reproduced the
article which appeared in last years
ILLUSTRATED about Pasadena because
it contained the interesting early his
tory of that place. The work is
electrotyped, there will be frequent
editions Of it, and we promise to rec
tify the omission in all later issues.

"aid and comfort to the enemy" in

"sid and comfort to the enemy" in
order to accomplish this. The price
paid for dummies" was fifty cents
"a trip" and Ling saw the manipu-
lators of these gentry get the coin,
and saw the coin paid the "dummy"
to get IN line. That this was done
has been an open secret all the time
since election day, but it was a diff
ficult task to find the man who could
be made to swear to the facts. Mr..
Ling was the missing link
to make the testimony of many
other witnesses emphatic. Mr..
Whites testimony as to the registra-
ton question in all its manifold
phases is quite as important and
emphatic. No one can read it and
longer escape the conviction that the
County Clerk was of the Republican
clique, who conspired to steal march
on the other party in the matter OF
registration. Mr.. Dunsmoor's s animus
is made conspicuous. An able law
yer, as Mr.. White is, interpreted the
law to him, to the effect that his
duties in the premises were purely
ministerial, that he had no right to &c
behind the prima .facie evidence Of
registration furnished him by the
Deputy Assessors. But in spite o.
this mostcorrect Interpretation OF the
statute Mr.. Dunsmoor partizan yea
led him to act in a purely iudicia
capacity when lie rejected the
1874 voters turned in by the Asses
| sors. This, with the appoint
ment of the chairman of the
Republican County Convention as
| deputy clerk to enroll voters, witt
che notices given as to the close o
the Great Register and all the many
points in this connection, show:
that the County Clerk was
| clearly OF the opinion that
his office was held by him
too much as political. and too little
as public trust. The zeal about the
registration has been sadly lacking
when it was required to look after the
filing OF the certificate of election,
and other documents, in the case Of
his friend and political associate,
the late, and much lamented County
Taxi Collector, whose bondsmen now
so anxio usly scan the horizon to see
how they must pay the deficit OF that
defaulting official. The zeal was too
much in favor of his own political
household. No one can read Whites
testimony and doubt this.

Hen E ficial Legislation.

When our Republican censors have
had their cay, the California Demo
Gratis may take a just pride in the
fact that their fellow partizans have
substantially redeemed the pledges
emade to the people in the platform Of
the party. Thus the most conspicuous
plank in the San Jose platform in
l8S2was pledge to repeal the Sunday
alaw!a Promptly upon the assembling
Of the Legislature this obsolete
statute was repealed. The Demo
cratic members Of the last Legisla-
ture, notwithstanding all that has
been said against that body, was also
9 Aaracterized by marked fidelity to-
the pledges of the San Francisco
Convention. That convention prom
ised The people relief on the question
of irrigation, and the Legislature at
once proceeded to repeal the statute
which made the common law OF
England the rule governing thee
of this State in matters concerning
the rightto the use of water 1t went
fur her and, by the passage OF the
Injunction bill, which has received
the Governors signature, it has
granted to the farmers of the San
Joaquin valley, and other irrigated
regions, remedy by which they can
secure their crops pending a con-
f9oversy with grant owners and others
Who aim to deprive them of water.
1t is quite true that Republicans par
ticipated in both of these last meas
ures, but the Democratic members
and Democratic Governor had the
shaping of legislation, and gave the
masses the relief which had been
promised in the party platform. 1t is
. noteworthy fact that the Legisla-
tures which were elected to cooperate
with Governors Stoneman and Bart
lett evolved no infamous jobs, like
the Slickens swinGle, where it was
sought to take millions OF the peoples
money to do what the hydraulic min
ers should have been compelled to do
themselves, which measure was the
shining light of Governor Perkins s
phosphorescent administration.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-03-28

THE question of the policy OF bail
bonds has been brought before the
people of San Francisco by the judg-
ment holding Gray's bondsmen re-
sponsible in the large sum Of $780,
900, and the disappearance of Ell
Hammond with the moderate sized
sack raises it somewhat prominently
here. The practice OF exacting bonds
from officials is as old as the hills
but, like some otEer venerable usages,
it is just possible that it might be
"more honored in the breach than in
the observance. We exact no bonds
from our Presidents and Governors,
and yet a very fair order OF
service has been secure9 in
their instance. The entire abolition of
bonds would unquestionably result
in a higher order OF character in the
nom inees for positions Of pecuniary
trust, and man who is selected for
such posts on account of his conspic-
uous reputation for integrity in the
comm unity is not very apt to abuse
the confidence placed in him. The
large bonds exacted from many off
cials, unquestionably result in great
abuse. Their bondsmen are apt to
either dictate the selection OF
the employees or to exact a per-
centage of the emoluments of
the offices. 1t is very rare indeed
in the history of California where one
can find an instance of an official
bond for a large amount that has
been paid to the authorities.

The Interstate nHlnerCe Bill
and Our Wines.

The operation OF the Interstate
Commerce bill threatens to be very
injurious to some of the interests OF
Southern California. This is partic-
ularly the case with our wines. Lead
ing wine men assure us that the en-
hanced freights on shipments to the
East by rail will be almost equal to
the import duty on foreign wines.
This will of course result in increas-
ing the movement OF this class OF
goods by water, and return to the
old shipments around the Horn"
is by no means an improbable
ity. 1t is doubtless in the pow
or of the Commissioners, by
. liberal administration OF the law,
to do much to remedy these grev-
ances, which seem to be inevitable
incidents OF all reforms. 1t was
scarcely expected that a great and
radical change like this could be
made without considerable shock
to the existing order OF things. Tue
Commission is composed of gentle
men of marked ability, but it is great
" to be regretted that, in view of the
overwhelming interest in the changes
contemplated. by the new system pos
Seesed by the people of California, no
one was appointed from this State.
The fact that most OF the transconti-
mental lines center here should have
of itself assured this recognition. One
effect of the bill may be TO build up
the Dominion Railway system, as the
Canadian Pacific and the British
roads will be absolutely independent
of the Interstate Commerce bill.
Shipments could thus be made over
the continent by rail and to and from
the terminus of the Canadian system
by water. Should the Directors Of |
this British corporation adopt low |
schedule of freight on wines and
brandies, they would probably se-
cure large share of the business.

Esther RockweII's Romance.

Mrs. Esther Niles Rockwell, widow
of Harry Rockwell. died ut MADDEN
Neck few days ago. writes New
Haven correspondent Of the New York
San. A most romantic event in her
life gave her something more than mere
local repute. She was married in 1917
TO Henry Rockwell. who lived further
up the Connecticut river. and who was
a man of somewhat rowing disposition,
with a strong liking for the sea. Two
years after marriage Rockwell accepted
an offer for winter employment in
Savannah, but when he returned in the
spring came only to New York. There
he was tempted to ship on a whaler and
did SO without seeing his wife. He was
afterward captured while on an English
vessel by Spanish ship. and spent
two or three years in Spanish prison.
Then, without returning home, he en-
listed in the United States navy. and
for some years after was on Il merchant
ship. He sailed around the world sew
eral times. Mrs. Rockwell not having
heard anything from him for seven or
eight wears. believed he was dead. and
in 1925 she married George Evans, who
died in 1891. Rockwell in that year
was in New York, and intended to re-
turn home. but hearing that his wife
had married again, thinking him dead,
he mt once shipped for long voyage.
By Mr. Evans she had three children,
two of whom are now living. One of
these. Zelnda, when n little girl in 1885,
told her mother that she had had n
queer dream and that she saw her other
papa. rs Rock well was called. coming
home in sailor clothes and colored
vest. A week later, on the afternoon Of
July (, and during Il heavy thunder
storm. ROckwen knocked at the door OF
his wife's house and asked for shelter
He WAS invited to take dinner, though
no one recognized him. The little girl.
however, spoke of her dream at once
when she saw him. saying that the
man was dressed just rs her other papa
had been.
Then tie wife said. greatly aritatad:
You rcmiud me Of tue man who was
once nv hus band.
"Doa't you know me, Esther?' vas
his answer.
Five days after they were married.
anu lived happily together for forty-s.z
years. when Rockwell died. Three
children were born TO them. one OF
whom. Edward Rockwell, lives now in
the old homestead.
